I am the single father of twin boys and a college-aged daughter. Relationship Coaching Institute and Relationship Coaching Network is the result of my own journey in being passionate about healthy, successful relationships and being twice divorced, which has taught me much about what works and what doesn't work in relationships that I have been able to bring to my professional work and benefit others. Having a successful marriage and family are still my top priorities!

I enjoy hiking, backpacking, biking, diving, sailing, family activities, and am an avid do-it-yourselfer around the house!

I stay focused on your goals and agenda and emphasize teaching the information and skills you need to be successful.

I delight in helping my clients reach beyond what they thought realistic or possible!

Selected client comments:

"I am so very grateful for your creative and inspirational coaching. Thank you for your focus, expertise and kindness, I feel supported and energized - an exciting combination that is helping me move clearly forward - without feeling overwhelmed!"

~ L. H.

"In a few short weeks, you helped me gain MUCH clarity. Your questions steer me to think about things that haven't crossed my mind before. You offer VERY practical suggestions while giving me plenty of room to explore the options I want. When we are on the calls, I have your full attention and it feels like I have a partner!"

~ F.M.

"David Steele is dynamic, energetic, and informative; he offers much more value than I expected."

~ C.M.

"Working with David Steele as my coach has been a Godsend. From our very first session, he has been able to help me clarify my goals, establish my priorities, put wings on my vision and most importantly of all, he expects me to take action. This isn't just a "feel-good" experience, (although it does give me joy and hope), but it's a practical hands-on, let's roll-up-our-sleeves-and-get-this-thing-done relationship that makes it so worthwhile."
